Juno Beach
Located on the southern end of the Treasure Coast, Juno Beach is a quaint seaside residential community on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The Ocean Dune town was incorporated in 1953, and its 55-year history has created a community of fine oceanfront estates, condominiums and businesses that provide and ideal setting for some 3,600 permanent residents and 7,500 seasonal residents.
As most Treasure Coast towns, offshore of Juno Beach lie Spanish wrecks dating from late 1500's to early 1600's. The barrier island was created when the Intracoastal Waterway was dredged along the watershed of old Lake Worth Creek and cut through to Lake Worth in 1898. Ocean and Intracoastal waterways provide part of the attraction of the Town of Juno Beach. The Town's coastline is also one of the highest density nesting areas for sea turtles in the world with more than 1,000 nestings per mile.
Juno was the predecessor of Juno Beach. It arose as a late nineteenth century transportation terminal linking northern Florida by the Indian River and Jupiter to Lake Worth in southern Florida. Juno was once the County Seat of what was 7200 square mile Dade County from 1890 to 1900.
Juno Beach is near many activities including the Jupiter Theatre, nationally-known golf courses, tennis courts, county parks, shopping centers and art galleries. With Juno Beach, activities range from sunbathing, swimming and fishing to walking, jogging and bicycling on our oceanfront bike path. The Marinelife Museum is located in Loggerhead Park.
Pelican Lake is a 12-acres with 8’ concrete paver-brick sidewalk creating a nice leisurely 1 mile walk from the north end of the Town Center property around the lake and back. A wide variety of vegetation and water fowl mixed with gazebos, park benches and picnic tables make this an ideal spot for visitors and residents alike. The bollard and lantern-style lighting around the lake allows you to enjoy the scenery both day and night.
